Francisco Franco, the Spanish dictator, promoted a nationalist and authoritarian regime characterized by conservative, Catholic values. He sought to unify Spain under a single national identity, suppressing regional identities and languages, particularly those of Catalonia and the Basque Country. Franco's regime emphasized anti-communism and sought to eliminate leftist influences, which included a brutal crackdown on political dissent and opposition. His ideas also encompassed economic autarky initially, later evolving towards a more liberalized economy in the 1950s.
